Is there any way to determine whether a given disk is removable or not?
Four people in our company have already tried to retrieve this information,
but it seems that the OS is trying to make that difficult. Now, since we
*DO* have people from Microsoft in this newsgroup, we should be able to
get an answer, right? :-)

P.S.: It should be some method that works with 1.2, since we are already
      running it ...
